All the devils are here by Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, about the Wall Street crash. It is a more complete account than some of the earlier books, and doesn't put all the blame on one or two actors or factors. The thesis is that there were a LOT of villains and no heroes.

The Ghost of Cannae: Hannibal and the darkest hour of the Roman republic, by Robert O'Connell, about the Punic Wars. Very interesting, lots of insight about the Romans and the Carthaginians.

In the Autumn Issue of The Quarterly Journel of Military History there a nice read about Lawrence of Arabia........Betrayed...........Why the Middle - East is such a mess. The same issue has another article about the Battle of Britain called Spitfire Summer. BTW I am very interested in the post war airfields that turned into race tracks.

I just completed a CME ( Continuing Medical Education ) course on Diagnosing and Managing Headaches...........36 pages of academia and now I have a headache.

If one cannot command attention by one's admirable qualities one can at least be a nuisance

I recently finished James Patterson's latest Alex Cross novel, Cross Fire - first book I've read on my e-reader BTW. I've started on a collection of short stories by John Connolly, Nocturnes, but they're VERY dark and I'm not really in the mood right now. Waiting for Christmas morning to see which new reads I get! I keep a running list of books that interest me on my desk, and my kids know that's the 'go to' spot if they need a gift idea. There's almost NOTHING I love more than books!

I'm not a big reader of novels / books but I am just getting close to finishing Ghost Rider by Neil Peart.

It's an interesting journey, his trip, life and reading the book. I'm in the section now where he's basically reprinting/recounting second party letters he wrote to various friends during and after his trip. Some of it is tough to follow because it's hard to tell whether he's in the first person or second person.

Like a rough section in a washed out road though I'm determined to get through it!
